The '''carrack''' was a large trading and fighting vessel of the [[Mediterranean]] from the 14th to the 17th centuries. It started as a two-master with one large'''square-rigged''' sail on each, but by the early 16th century topsails were being used and by the end of that century four masts were common. Its hull was [[carvel]]-built but it was larger than the [[caravel]]. It was the ship of choice for the [[Portuguese]] transportation of troops and supplies to [[Brazil]] and [[India]] during the 16th century.
